Faith In Their Work

All design and electronic prepress work is done at the church's downtown headquarters, six miles away. Then jobs are sent to the printing center across fiber optic cables. Sedgwick oversees both prepress operations.

Aside from the fact that the printing center is not open on Sunday, in honor of the Sabbath, it operates just like a commercial printer—and for a good reason. It used to be one. The church operated Deseret Press as a commercial shop until 1981, when it became an in-plant. But why is it so important for the church to own such a large in-plant?
